@gian.ntv: Me and Ta [@sa.nakan] met Formi this summer. We played The Dare song at Colonne, and he came to us and said “That's The Dare! I love it!”
@formizzzzz: Yeah, yeah, we were like in Colonne di San Lorenzo, I was with my girlfriend and I hear The Dare on the speaker, and I was like, Oh my fucking God, this is The Dare. That's the first thing that I said to you [Gian]. And I remember, because at that moment no one was really into the indie sleaze scene, I was excited.
@gian.ntv: So we became friends and I asked him to collaborate with us, because at that point meet me in the bathroom was a project that we already worked on for a year. He said “Yes, why not?” and he also invited Tancredi, his best friend. So "meet me in the bathroom" really started this summer. Our goal was to bring electronic music to clubs. We felt like in Milan there are no clubs that play the music that we like. EDM, electroclash, alt rock.

And how did you get your first booking? Was it Viper?
And how did you get your first booking? Was it Viper?
@gian.ntv: Yeah, it was Viper, the first time that we played. I literally just asked Vipra, one of the organizers, if we could play there, and they agreed, they were so excited about the project.

Do you have complete freedom when it comes to the sets or do the organizers give you any guidelines?

@gian.ntv: They did say to us to play some pop or mainstream music from time to time but
we mainly do whatever we want.

How do you feel about the current DJing scene in Milan?
How do you feel about the current DJing scene in Milan?
@gian.ntv: I feel that there's a lot of good DJs in Milan. For example, we love Reptilia at
Apollo. We love their music and what they put on. Club Domani is cool. The guys from
Nothing Cool, they’re so swag.

Best clubs in Milan?
Best clubs in Milan?
@gian.ntv: I love Rocket, Apollo, Q Club.
@formizzzzz: I will say, it's not the club, it's the party. Yeah. I mean the coolest place in the
world could be shit, because of the party. The music matters, not the club.

Favourite drink?
Favourite drink?
@gian.ntv: Long Island
@sa.nakan: Long Island
@formizzzzz: You know, I have a problem with drinking, because every time I get drunk with a certain type of drink, like, I can't, I have to stop drinking it. If I drink beer, and I get fucked up with on beer, from the day on, I can't drink beer anymore. But now I actually do drink beer. And gin lemon.

@gian.ntv: Formi
@sa.nakan: Formi
@formizzzzz: Let me think because like this year every fucking guy that I listen to got
fucking famous, like The Hellp. There is this band that I love, Slow Pulp, they're not
upcoming but more underground. The Voids too. That's the second project of Julien
Casablanca's, the guy of The Strokes. That is kind of underground. He started this project in
2014, but it never blew up. I also love Mechatok.

What else do you do outside of DJing?
What else do you do outside of DJing?
@gian.ntv: I was modeling. I stopped modelling for a year because I was so, you know,
overstimulated about this world. I'm studying right now. Yeah, I have to graduate this year in
Fashion Design Management in Academia Costume e Moda. It's like an academy, a private
academy in Porta Romana.
@sa.nakan: I was also a model but I stopped two years ago and left my agency. Now I'm
working on what I like. I design clothes, but for now being a DJ is the main thing.
@formizzzzz: My first song is coming out on the 27th of March. And, like, I'm focused on the music right now. DJing is something extra that I do. I just want to put the music that I listen to in a club, so I'm not scared to fuck up, make mistakes. I do it just for fun, so if the transition is not that clean or... I don't know. I'm just having fun. The first time I played, it wasn't Viper. It was at a little bar in Ticinese, Taverna Gran sasso. It was cool, because the place is small, so it was super full and the energy was fire. I started to make music, like, two years ago. Before that, I worked in video. I started making skits when I was 14, with Supreme. It all began when I saw for the first time William Strobeck's video. And there was this scene in slow-mo. From that moment, I started having an artistic vision that I didn't have before. I became another person. I woke up. That video inspired me to do stuff. The day I drop my first song I’m performing at the "505". It's a party that Riccardo Ardinelli and the guy from Carnale organised. It's my second show. But I'm super excited. The first time I played I was super nervous. Now I'm making the first step. It's been two years that I've been making music and it is hard for me to show to the people that I do. I also have an EP that is coming, but I want to make things in the right way.
